What is the purpose of a reference point?

to provide a standard system of measurement

to establish a point from which to measure future distance, or if movement has occurred

to determine the speed of an object in miles per hour

to provide a standard from which to evaluate variables in an experiment

Now that the first three steps have been explained, identify the next three steps, in order. calculate the magnitude of r sum vector components calculate a and b magnitudes calculate the direction of r, calculate x,y components step 4 step 5 step 6

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?

Suppose that 27 j of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 6 m to a length of 9 m. (a) how much work is needed to stretch the spring from 12 m to 14 m? j (b) how far beyond its natural length will a force of 78 n keep the spring stretched?
